48North Cannabis Corp. Ships Company's First Vaporizer Product, Avitas Now Available for Retail Sale at the Ontario Cannabis Store and Retail Stores Across the Province

TORONTO, March 26, 2020 /CNW/ - 48North Cannabis Corp. ("48North" or the "Company") (TSXV:NRTH.V - News), is pleased to announce that it has shipped the first order of its vape product Avitas to the Ontario Cannabis Store for retail sale. The Avitas vape marks the Company's first vape product available for sale.

Avitas, available in over 500 stores in Washington, Oregon and Colorado is one of the best-selling single strain vaporizer cartridges in the United States and represents 48North's first product introduction as part of its vaporizer strategy. Avitas develops 100% additive free, single strain, ultra-refined and purified, vaporizer cartridges. Single strain vaporizer cartridges represent the fastest-growing, next-generation cannabis product category in the United States.

To start, 48North will be launching a Super Citrus Haze vaporizer cartridge, using flower that has been hand selected for flavor, aroma and cannabinoid profile. This unique sativa forward strain is earthy and citrusy to the tongue with terpenes that evoke herbs like black pepper and cloves. The Company uses a gentle extraction method to preserve the flower's cannabinoid and terpene profiles, resulting in single strain, full spectrum oils – clean and simple.

Successfully launching the company's first vape product to market is indicative of 48North's renewed commitment to improving operations, investing in product design, and supporting high-quality experiences for Canadian consumers.

"Since the beginning, 48North has been committed to selling next-generation cannabis products to Canadian consumers. In response, the company has built landmark partnerships with brands like Apothecanna and Avitas to bring some of the highest-quality products to consumers. Bringing market-tested brands from the United States to Canada has been part of the 48North strategy from the beginning. In doing so, we capitalize on a head-start with brand building and fostering consumer loyality. We very excited to share this product with Canadians across the country," said Kirsten Gauthier, CMO of 48North.

According to PAX Labs Inc., the cannabis vape market alone will account for $600 million in sales in Canada by 2021.
